Tema 1- QUESTIONS TAGS-Preguntas Coletillas

Con las "question tags" en inglés terminamos las frases con una pregunta corta, de signo
contrario, la cual se usa para pedir la opinión o buscar la aprobación del interlocutor. Equivalen
en español a: ¿no es verdad?, ¿no?, ¿no es así? ¿en serio? Ejemplos:

You eat meat, don’t you?(Comes carne, ¿verdad?)

She doesn’t like to dance, does she?(No le gusta bailar, ¿no?)
Alex and Sergio are friends, aren’t they?(Alex y Sergio son amigos, ¿no?)

La estructura es:

Para oraciones afirmativas: Oración afirmativa + coma + auxiliar

negativo + subject pronoun?

Annie is the tallest in class, isn’t she? / Annie es la más alta de la

o
clase, ¿verdad?
Para oraciones negativas: Oración en negativo + coma + auxiliar en
afirmativo + subject pronoun?

o Annie isn’t the tallest in class, is she? / Annie no es la más alta de la

clase, ¿verdad?
Los 3 pasos que debes seguir para usar las “Questions Tags”

Paso 1: primero debes analizar el tiempo verbal en el que vas a hacer tu

oración, ya que dependiendo de esto, se usa un auxiliar diferente en cada
caso.

Simple present (do-does):

Present continuous (am, is, are):
Verb to be in past (was-were):
Simple past (did):
Past continuous (was-were):
Future (will):
Present perfect (have-has):
Past perfect (had):
Modals (can, could, should, would, must):

Paso 2: en seguida debes recordar que tu tag question debe ir en el sentido

opuesto de tu frase inicial

Ejemplo oración en afirmativo + tag en negativo: this movie is extremely

boring, isn’t it? / Esta película es extremadamente aburrida, ¿o no?

Ejemplo frase en negativo + tag en afirmativo: this movie isn’t

interesting, is it? / Esta película no es interesante, ¿o sí?

Paso 3: después debes recordar que debes cambiar el sujeto de la frase, ya

que no debes repetir el que usaste en un comienzo sino el sujeto pronombre
del inglés.

o Jessica – she
o Daniel – he
o This tv show – it
o Miami – it
o My sisters and I- we
o The soldiers – they

Ejemplo:
o Jessica is working now, isn’t she? / Jessica está trabajando ahora, ¿no
es así?

Resuelve el siguiente ejercicio de lectura fácil con base en el siguiente texto.
My favorite things
Hello, I am Ross from Glasgow and I want to tell you about my two favorite things.
My car is my second favorite on my list of favorite things. I am a single father and I have 4
small children. Because of that, I need a mode of transportation to take my children to
school, to the movies, or to visit their mother and her new husband in a city near Glasgow.
First place on my list is my phone; what I mean is, my smartphone. I use it all day. In the
morning I use it as an alarm to wake up; then I listen to music on the bus when I go to
work; in the afternoon I send messages to my friends and my girlfriend on Facebook or
WhatsApp. Right now I am studying French and I use some of the apps on my phone to
improve my French.
